Esri UK partner Symology has been recognised in the global Esri Partner Network Awards, for its achievements using cloud GIS, by winning an ArcGIS Adoption Award.
The awards took place during the virtual annual Esri Partner Conference and showcased the innovative work of 26 companies, selected from over 2,700 Esri partners worldwide.
Symology received the award for the impressive new development of its cloud-based highways assets and street works management solution, Aurora. Esri’s cloud GIS was a key component, providing the underlying mapping to manage assets and street works notifications and enabling Symology to create a modern, web-based application, accessible on any device.
The first customer of the new system was the Scottish Road Works Commissioner (SRWC) in 2020, with 3,000 staff using it to manage all local authority and utility roadworks across Scotland. The flexibility of the new solution has already proven invaluable, helping SRWC change its working practices during the Coronavirus pandemic.
This year, Symology is continuing to roll-out the Aurora solution to its customer base with plans to have over 30,000 users online within the next 3 years. Aurora will see all of its users migrated to the cloud, using Esri ArcGIS Enterprise running on Microsoft Azure.
Stuart Marshall, Sales and Marketing Manager at Symology, said, “ArcGIS Enterprise was clearly the best fit for the new solution while great teamwork with the Esri UK development team made the migration possible. The project is another significant milestone in our 10-year relationship as an Esri gold partner.”
Heather Fletcher, Head of Partners and Alliances, Esri UK, said, “The cloud solution offers the flexibility users demand, while the map-driven user-interface is more intuitive, giving each user a high-end experience, letting them find and record assets and street works faster than before.”
